Mascherano remains non-committal on Barcelona future

Barcelona, May 28 (IANS) Defensive midfielder Javier Mascherano says he is with Barcelona for now but added that he is unsure of his future at the Catalan football club.

The Argentine has been heavily linked with a move to Italian giants Juventus.

“It’s a rumour. I am at Barcelona for now and grateful to them, but I cannot say what will happen. Within the club they know I had problems on a personal level,” Mascherano was quoted as saying by football-italia.net.

The main sticking point appears to be the 20m euro ($ 22.2) price tag that Barcelona have pinned to the 31-year-old.
